Fishing & Swimming with the grandkids and friends

Tyler has been asking about fishing for quite a while - so when our friends Dorie and Barb invited us to join them and Grace & Olivia fishing we agreed.

Barb and the girls checked out the waterfront area with Barb to see if this was a good location.

Dorie and Olivia bring their poles to the waterfront to set up their spot.

Since this was Tyler's first fishing trip - Dorie was kind enough to give her a few casting lessons in the field.

Then we went down to the waterfront to try casting.

Tyler liked putting the bait on the hook herself.

The bait was salmon eggs so that wasn't too bad to handle.

Then with Barb's guidance - Tyler started to cast the bait.

it took a few times getting it into the trees to find the right 

'feel' for it.

Barb was happy to untangle Tyler's line when she did 'catch' a branch.

Tyler was very good at casting the line - got it far and reeled the line in well.

After a morning of fishing we went back to the girls' campsite to enjoy the campground - Dakota Ridge RV Park - which we had camped at before.

Tyler, Grace & Olivia enjoyed climbing the 'mountain' at this campground.

All enjoyed a snack after hiking and before jumping into the pool.

The 3 girls got along great - they were like 3 mermaids in the pool.

They played and jumped and swam in the pool for a couple of hours.

Grace & Tyler enjoyed their time together that day.

At the end of the day we all enjoyed a great picnic - and know we'll do this again soon.
